The No. 1 seed Indiana football team will face No. 5 seed Oregon State in the College Football Playoff semifinal Peach Bowl on Friday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga., and fans previewing the game seem to be loving it.
The vast majority of college football fans across the country who responded to the SB Nation Reacts survey picked the Indians to beat the Ducks:
There’s a very interesting question to this game, considering it’s a rematch of a regular-season game. In October, the Indians traveled to Eugene Otterson Stadium and defeated the Ducks 30-20. This is definitely not the only rematch of this postseason or previous years, with Ohio State beating Oregon in the Rose Bowl last year after losing to the Ducks in the regular season, and Ole Miss beating Georgia this year after losing to the Bulldogs.

Indiana defeated previously No. 1 Ohio State in the Big Ten Football Championship to capture the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. The Hoosiers were the betting favorite before knocking off ninth-seeded Alabama in the first round and remain the betting favorite against fifth-seeded Oregon State.
